Detecting which controllers are plugged in

I'm currently working on detecting plugged in controllers for Oculus Rift and also for Oculus GO. Here is function that I've come up with:
(it's added to the OculusInput.cpp)

FString FOculusInput::GetPluggedControllerName()
{
	FString ControllerType = "None";

	ovrpControllerState4 OvrpControllerState;

	if (OVRP_SUCCESS(ovrp_GetControllerState4(ovrpController_Active, &OvrpControllerState)))
	{
		switch (OvrpControllerState.ConnectedControllerTypes)
		{
		case ovrpController_Touch:
			ControllerType = "Oculus_touch";
			break;

		case ovrpController_Gamepad:
			ControllerType = "Gamepad";
			break;

		default:
			ControllerType = "Default";
			GEngine->AddOnScreenDebugMessage(-1, 5.0f, FColor::Red, FString::FromInt(OvrpControllerState.ConnectedControllerTypes));
			break;
		}
	}

	return ControllerType;
}
It works well when i have only one of them plugged in, it will never work if i have both touch and gamepad plugged in my pc. My queston is if it's there any way to split that? Do i have to just check those hexadecimal values before? Also how can i detect if it's Oculus GO controller?
